The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.
Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.
Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Most of that "friendzone" bs is her getting off on the intense energy she gets out of your attraction, while being entitled enough not to give in return. A complete ego boost for her, and a drain for yourself. It's not good business.I doubt that you can achieve this.
In my entire life (and I'm old btw) ... once it *finally* sinks in that you aren't going to budge beyond friendship material, they will (to save face? , pride?, dignity?) drop you completely.
Sometimes after an actual relationship (and their emotions have dissipated) a friendship can be salvageable, but those chances are few and far between.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
He's not attracted to her, he has all the power and she's probably gaga over him.Most of that "friendzone" bs is her getting off on the intense energy she gets out of your attraction, while being entitled enough not to give in return.

What exactly is your intent with this chick? Bang her only behind the scenes? No sex? Just use her for attention/validation? That will help me in what you should probably do.What is an effective way of friendzoning a girl that you dont want to ghost and dont see any dating potential in? Say she is interested in you but you are not interested in her and she keeps doing kino on you and is flirty.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I just want her to be neutral. She hangs out with the same social circle as me so thats the main problem, whenever I go somwhere with them she happens to be there. She is great for using as social proof though when hitting on other girls in her presence when partying though.What exactly is your intent with this chick? Bang her only behind the scenes? No sex?

So she is a wing man. Use her as such (so long as she is ATTRACTIVE). If she isnt attractive enough then make it ear that you're just interested as friends only.I just want her to be neutral.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Yeah there is. You worry about Stringpuller. GLASSGUY gets all the pvssy he wants.As stated above. No such thing as wing girls. Its a fantasy. The hot friend you try to use as a "wing girl" to attract "others" is the one that you failed to fck.
Why not find a better way Glass to tell him to man the hell up and just reject her.
I dont get "triggered". I dont get emotional. You should try it sometime.I knew you were going to get triggered
But if men do this then they reeeee “he just wanted sex!”I doubt that you can achieve this.

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
